Should leaves be placed in the PAYT bags for curbside leaf collection?

No, leaves should not be placed in the PAYT bags for fall curbside collection.

Fall curbside collection of leaves will remain the same as it has been in past years. Residents are asked to place their unopened bags of leaves curbside. Residents should use the same types of bags they have used in the past for collection. The bags will be emptied and left behind for residents to reuse.

Residents may also bring their leaves and/or yard waste to the Public Works compound on Wentworth Court during yard waste drop off times during the spring and fall. Yard waste drop off notices are published in the paper and posted online on the City of Waterville's website.
